Attuned TO all earth's harmonies.

Birds, and the brooks low murmurings.

For flowers of hope bloom In my heart

One bird has found its downy nest

Can match the blue depths OF thine ewes:
And meath the fringed lids SO fair
Shines forth soul, with promise rare.

the Winter months they would not be fit
